The Song That Makes You Leap Around Like a Puppy

I will always sing along to Cradle Of Filth - Her Ghost In The Fog. Okay, not always... But it's my favourite song to sing, and the first song I ever felt "that" way about.

The current one that makes me jump up and down like a crack addict is The Agonist - ...and Their Eulogies Sang Me To Sleep. In fact, anything by The Agonist makes me very excited and energetic.

.....................................Ah, I have never heard either one of those songs. I must have been on another planet when they were out.

I have so many 'old' songs that set my feet to prancing. I'll have to come back to this.

(Cliff...you like that type of music that the second link you shared?)

Both links were metal, and I like quite a bit of metal, yes.

Do you ask to mock me, or recommend another band?

(But actually, The Agonist is my current favourite band. It's kind of rare to find a female singer who will do growl vocals, and as it happens she's an animal rights activist, which just makes the band all the more appealing. If you want a tamer song of theirs, check out Thank You Pain.)

Down Sweet Home Alabama.... that can cause me to tap the foot and even jump up and dance a bit.

(Cliff....not making fun of you. Was just showing our generation gap thingy.)

LOL. To be fair, most people my age don't like metal either.

My taste in music was born of teenage angst. First it was Blink 182 and The Offspring, then I wanted something heavier and found KoRn and Slipknot, then I wanted something darker and found Marilyn Manson, and from those last 3 I decided I needed the heaviest, darkest music I could find, and I found Cradle Of Filth - the first proper metal band I ever heard.

Her Ghost In The Fog was the first proper metal song I ever heard, which is probably why it's a constant favourite of mine.

And from the seeds of that song, I've had a 10 year love-affair with metal of most kinds. (Wow, now I'M showing MY age!)

If you're interested in something a little lighter, check out Chalice - Abyss.

I've actually seen this band play live twice, and once played laser tag with the singer and drummer (without realising until someone pointed it out the following week). I love this band, but they've split up.

Abyss is probably my favourite of theirs. It's doom metal, which is why it's a lot easier to listen to than the other ones (death metal).

These songs don't always make me dance around like a puppy... I think it may have something to do with my expectations, if I'm somewhat surprised that it's playing... then there's a way better chance of my bouncing about.

*I hope all those links work since I had to type them in by hand because youtube no longer works on my computer - I hate them*

Pretty much any 16-bar boogie with a walking bass.

Kelly, ^good stuff!

I grew up with the bubblegum-pop boy-band faze so every time I hear this or this, I have to jump up and dance.

Though this and this were huge when I was around 13 and 14, so they get me pumped for various reasons.

This song just makes me feel good:

How about two more: Love Shack by the B-52s and You Shook Me All Night Long by AC/DC. Oh, then there's Super Freak, of course.

I could do this all day.

It's dependent on my mood. Too heavy when I'm feeling light, or too light when I need it heavy, and it won't connect. Either way I'd be here for days listing them all.

All this digging up music had me running across some total nostalgia.
I grew up in backwoods country bars. The highlight of the summer was a live band on a Saturday night. This is the one song I absolutely had to get up and dance to. My all time favorite. If there was no one to dance with, I would dance by myself.

(Keep in mind the lyrics were written in the 50's)

Ghost Love Score by nightwish.

Makes me jump around like an idiot. I write most of my dramatic fight scenes to that or Kinslayer by the same band. They usually then have to be substantially revised because they get super ridiculous.

Cliff, I'm also a CoF fan, saw them live in my city when I was about 15. The bassist asked me back stage, and I had to tell him I was 15. Should have lied honesty is a curse I've long had to live with. I have to say I prefer Born in a Burial gown for my jumping around.

I dance, and I cry at the same time.

Because when I hear this I always think of her, down, out, no contract, flat broke, and having to sell 45 singles of this song out of the trunk of her car after performances...

How can I not include this momentous song of the '90s that catapulted a subgenre:


This song just always makes me want to jump/dance like a puppy and sing along:

Vampire Weekend is my latest favorite band. Dancing in my chair right now to this:
